GRAMMY award-winning Los Lobos (Spanish for “the Wolves”) are an American rock band from East Los Angeles, California.
Los Lobos was formed in 1974 by David Hidalgo, Conrad Lozano, Louie Pérez and Cesar Rosas. “We all came from the same high school. We were friends before we were ever a band. I think that’s one of the reasons we’ve been around as long as we have,” says Louie Pérez.
Their music is influenced by rock and roll, Tex-Mex, country, Zydeco, folk, R&B, blues, brown-eyed soul, and traditional music such as cumbia, boleros and Norteño.

The band rose to international stardom in 1987, when their version of Ritchie Valens’ “La Bamba” topped the charts in the U.S., the UK, and several other countries. Songs by Los Lobos have been recorded by Elvis Costello, Waylon Jennings, Frankie Yankovic, and Robert Plant.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the band toured extensively throughout the world, opening for such acts as Bob Dylan, U2 and the Grateful Dead.
With the release of “The Neighborhood” in 1990, the band entered unchartered territory with a mix of different styles that still showed off their songwriting talents.

In 1992, with the release of “Kiko,” Los Lobos proved once again that they can continue to be innovative. While each song might have a different flavor, it doesn’t seem like a blend of different genres, but rather the product of different imaginations coming together. This critically acclaimed album was voted Album of the Year by such publications as The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, and The Chicago Sun-Times.
On the band’s twentieth anniversary, they released a two-CD collection of singles, outtakes, live recordings, and hits, entitled Just Another Band from East L.A.
